So, some people may be wondering why I am going on “The World Race”… Well over the last two years I have been through a lot of ups and downs especially this last year. I am the first to admit that I am not the perfect person nor the perfect christian, but what i do know is that each day i am striveing to be closer to God and who he wants me to be. For the those of you who know me well you know that these past fews months have been very difficult for me( i will share in a later blog), but through these difficult times and much prayer I know that this is what God has called me to do. I have been praying these past months for God to show me what was next for me in my life.
Some other opportunities had presented themselves, but things either didn’t work out with them or they just didnt seem right. At church a couple months ago Pastor J.J. was preaching about titheing and giveing your self to God. During that service God spoke to be and was like ” Char, first of all titheing is an act of sacrifice. Are you truely reading to leave yourself and your wants to follow what i want for you…” So, I went home and continued praying. I still couldnt figure out what i was suppose to do. My older sister Chelsea had told me about the world race once before but i didnt think anything of it. Yet not to long ago she once again brought it to my attention and I looked into it more, and started praying. At first I wasnt to sure about even applying due to the fact I have to raise so much money, but the more and more I prayed the more and more I knew this is what God’s plan was. God told me i need to stop trying to do things on my own and let him have complete control of my life and trust him, so that is what I am doing. I am trusting that God will provide the finances for me to go on THE WORLD Race, to do his work, but also that he will provide for me in all areas of my life. So, I am, letting go of me and what i want and putting complete trust in God and what he wants for me and my life. So in October 2010 I will be leaving on The World Race to let God use me for whatever and however he wants. The World Race is going to be an amazing journey for me. I am going to do what i love to do most which is help people, but it will also challenge me to put my trust completely in God…and I can’t wait!
